Our Awards

 

OUR TROPHIES:

We included a few photos of our build process to give you a sense on what it takes to create these trophies. The list below is a standard list of our annual awards. Our awards process ensures that no vehicle wins more than one award in order to award as many vehicles as possible.

NOTE: For the Top Awards 3 through 8, effective with the 2027 show, we are starting with one award per category since these categories historically have only a couple entries compared to the 2-3 awards we have had in the past for each category. This results in extra time and expense on awards that are not necessary, plus all vehicles in a specific category are winning an award which is not fair to others. Therefore, each of this categories (3-8) will start with one award per category. If pre-registrations by December 31st shows any category having increased to 5, we will add a second trophy, and a third if it hits 10. When and if any one of these categories goes above 10, we will reevaluate the allocations.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE SCHULTZ CUP:

A vehicle can only win the Schultz Cup one time. The winning vehicle with the most participant votes at the end of the show will be deemed the winner. We will use a calculated formula that measures the ratio of vehicles in a given category against the votes received in that category to fairly determine the correct winner.

 

If the vehicle receiving the highest volume of votes won the Schultz Cup in a prior year, then the vehicle that received the second most participant votes will be deemed the winner (the previous winner's vehicle would then receive a "TOP" Award in their class. In the event of a tie, and if neither vehicle has previously won the award; the tie breaker will be decided by a single vote by the show coordinator.

​

NOTE: Starting with the 2026 show, we will no longer be using the winning vehicle of this award on the shirts or dash plaques the following year.
